Chapter 665: Entering the Target Sea Area
The target is entering the sea area.
Hehe, that's great. The stage has been set; let our future guardians witness our combat power.
Should we activate suppression mode?
Activate, the remnants over there are also ready. Since the last battle ended, although their resentment has largely faded, they still can't let go; let this stage be our final battlefield. All data has been backed up on the mainframe, so even destruction is fine.
Understood!
As Qin Ge's fleet slowly entered the target area, they were shocked by the sight before them.
Pillars standing in the sea dyed the reflected sea surface a bloody red, like a sea of blood. Moreover, beside these Siren outposts, barriers of exposed reefs jutted up abruptly from beneath the sea.
The reefs were also dark red, and with the sky now hazy, the scene looked exceptionally eerie.
Although we had already seen this scene with carrier aircraft in the sky, observing it up close is completely different. Could this area be the Sirens' mirror zone?" Enterprise said, somewhat surprised.
Confirmed, it's not a mirror sea; all communications are normal, radar responses are completely normal, with no electromagnetic interference—this sea area is indeed normal." Hai Lun Na, leading the formation, said over the communicator.
It's not a mirror sea? This sight is truly surprising." Prince of Wales said.
I originally thought this was a cluster of twenty-odd Siren outposts, but now it seems the situation is more than just an outpost cluster." Enterprise said, surprised.
Yes, compared to a Siren outpost cluster, I'd rather believe this sea area is itself a massive Siren outpost." Bunker Hill nodded and said.
The opponent is the Sirens; creating any kind of scene is not strange." King George V said, "The most important thing now is to find that arbiter; she is our greatest hidden threat."
If we find the arbiter, we'll have no time to spare during the fight; if a large number of Siren warships appear to encircle us then, our situation would become overly passive." Mikasa shook her head and offered a different opinion.
That is indeed a possibility, after all we are now in the enemy's main base; if fighting really breaks out, the situation is hard to predict." Weineituo agreed.
Then how should we deploy now? Are we supposed to startle the snake by beating the grass?" Anshan asked.
Does Anshan think they don't know our situation after we came here?" Not far away, Ou Ruo La said sternly, "Haven't the commanders said it all along? Our actions have always been under others' control, so I believe that when we stepped into this area, they already knew our movements like the back of their hand."
What Ou Ruo La said is correct; logically, our aircraft just detected so many Siren fleets, they should be in a defensive posture blocking us here, but look around us—everything is silent. Isn't that highly abnormal?" Zala nodded and said.
Since the enemy has already grasped our movements, we needn't think of other methods; let's lure the snake out of its hole and attack openly." Xin Ze Xi said boldly.
Hehe, I have to admit, this method is the best." A Furore said.
Then let's do this: all aircraft carriers, launch carrier aircraft for wide-range reconnaissance. Since the enemy isn't attacking us, let's take the offensive." Xin Ze Xi said.
Understood!
In the distance, on Qin Ge's command ship, he stood with his hands behind his back, listening to the voices of the shipgirls over the communicator while observing the surroundings.
What do you think of their decisions, Commander?" Zhenhai asked from the side. "A search of this scale will surely provoke others' anger."
Qin Ge chuckled, 'I said before that this battle is entrusted to you; fight a decisive battle in your favorite way, so I have no opinion on Xin Ze Xi's tactical execution.'
Hehe, but your expression, Commander, has already revealed your worries." Zhenhai said with a smile.
Qin Ge rolled his eyes, 'After all, this is a major decisive battle—how could I not be worried? Besides, you just asked about tactics, not my current mood.'
Ha, then how is the Commander's mood now?" Zhenhai asked with a laugh.
Just as I told you earlier, I'm currently more worried." Qin Ge said, "But it's not that I worry whether you'll win this battle; I'm somewhat worried that the battle will cause everyone to get hurt."
Hearing Qin Ge's words, Zhenhai's gaze softened; she stepped forward and took hold of his arm, 'Commander, battle always entails sacrifice; we've already prepared ourselves for that, so there's no need to worry—just cheer us on.'
Qin Ge nodded, 'Although battle always involves sacrifice, the Commander's duty is to reduce it to the minimum. Rest assured, I will always stand behind you.'
Just as the two were speaking, a large number of Siren fleets suddenly appeared around the fleet. Those Siren fleets seemed to materialize out of nowhere; the previously empty sea surface instantly became crowded.
Invisibility?" As the flagship Xin Ze Xi witnessed this, his eyes twitched, but he then shook his head, "If they could be invisible, there'd be no need to fight; could it be optical camouflage?"
Whether they're invisible or using optical camouflage, the enemy has appeared and our battle has begun." King George V said.
Xin Ze Xi nodded, then waved a hand, 'All hands, battle stations! Let's go!'
In an instant, the roar of the ship guns rang out; the previously launched carrier aircraft now formed squadrons and turned back, and full-scale battle erupted at this moment.
The sky filled with bullet curtains and gunfire, illuminating the gray heavens brilliantly; as those barrages and shells fell, rows of Siren mass-produced warships burst into towering flames and smoke, then gradually capsized.
Moreover, the vanguard shipgirls nearest those Siren mass-produced warships had already rushed to the warships' vicinity, releasing a neat line of torpedoes into the water, churning with rapids, and swiftly ramming into the mass-produced warships.
Even though these mass-produced warships suddenly appeared, putting Qin Ge's fleet in a surround, thanks to their training and usual coordination, this encirclement posed no threat to Qin Ge's fleet.
On the contrary, because the Siren fleets appeared at such close distances, the shipgirls didn't need to aim carefully; firing toward the Siren direction would surely hit a random Siren target.
